328xi Sedan - TiAG with black leatherette and aluminum trim
6 speed MT
Sport Package
Power Seats
Cold Package
Xenon Lights
Logic 7
BMW assist
Comfort access

I really wanted to get the 335xi, but couldn't wait beyond January for availablity. It worked out well in the end - I got a good a very deal on a 27 month lease for the 328 - I can decide whether I want to upgrade to the 335 at that point in time.

My first BMW - I am very excited.

Nice car. You will be glad you got the sport package. I don't know if you drove one without it but I drove one with and w/o it and I found the sport seats to be much better than the standard seats.

1st BMW. You will love it. I am going on my third and I can't drive anything else. Nothing ever fells the same to me.

Thanks. I was thinking of buying it but I think I'll lease it and wait for the new model which will be out in late 08.

I am hoping the newer model has HUD. Its a neat feature. Do you guys have it?

I have driven the S550 and its just simply awesome. The interior is way more luxurious than the 750LI. The exterior is one class above the 750LI.

The reason why I chose BMW is because of its reliability. I read alot that Mercedes has alot of problems which prompts me to go for BMW.

The new one will most likely have HUD since it is in the 5 and 6 series now. I drove a 650i with it. It is a great feature. It's the one option I regret not getting in my 545i but it is a lease and I am giving it back in a couple weeks. Unfortunately the HUD is not available on the 335 coupe but I may switch to the new M3 in a year which will have HUD.

What color did you get?

[badduck]

Exterior: Metallic Black
Interior: Natural Brown
Wood Trim: Dark High Gloss Wood Trim

Pictures shown below is pretty much similar to my interior look:

Nice combo. I have seen natural brown in person. It is sharp.

Great info.

Did you ever wonder what happens at the port to your car after it’s shipped from the factory?

I've seen this before. It's pretty cool they are coated in a wax for the voyage.

Nice! I haven't seen it on the www.sailwx.info website yet. Apparently that is voluntary and not all ships report in. Ours may never show up on there.
